tlierefore, I prefer for the present to regard it as synonj^mous 

 with Cambridge's C. distincta, and to further elucidate the matter 

 by description and figures. 



9. Cephalothorax 2*4 mm. long, 2-8 mm. broad; abdomen 5 mm. 

 long, 6*6 mm broad, 8-2 mm. high. 



Ceph'dothorax broader than long, rounded laterally, granulated, 

 and marked with two lateral, parallel, longitudinal grooves; 

 yellowish-brown, densely clothed with short coarse hairs, and 

 having, in addition, two prominent brushes of long, thick, coarse 

 hairs running from the anterior region of the cephalic segment 

 to the posterior angle of the thoracic segment, and there, com- 

 mencing one on each side of the caput, incline inwards until near 

 the centre, where they meet, and from whence they again 

 gradually widen out, and do not terminate until the posterior 

 angle is attained. Pars cejyhalica arched, ascending, and termina- 

 ting in front with an obtuse projection or eminence, upon which 

 the four larger eyes are elevated; at the anterior extremity of the 

 caput there are two small projecting tubercles (fig. 4:d). Clypeus 

 broad, deep, sloping inwards. Pars thoracica broad, arched; 

 radial grooves indistinct. 



Ut/es distributed in three series of 2, 4, 2; of these the median 

 group of four are much the largest, and arranged in a somewhat 

 trapezoidal form, the anterior being separated from each other 

 by a space equal to about three times their individual diameter, 

 and the posterior pair by about two diameters; the lateral eyes 

 are seated well back, and each pair is elevated upon a prominent 

 tubercle; they are minute and nearly contiguous; the lower one 

 is somewhat the smaller. 



Legs laterigrade, yellowish-brown, clothed with short hairs, 

 and armed with spines; the first and second pairs are much the 

 longest, and are folded when at rest ; the femora are rough, 

 granulated, long, hairy, and each has on the underside a deep 

 groove for the reception of the lower joints which fit therein when 

 folded like the blade of a pocket-knife; the edges of the grooves 

 are armed with numerous short, sharp, strong, tooth-like spines; 

 the patellae are long, attenuated, elbowed at the base; the patella
